Corning® Varioptic® Lenses

Market-leading adjustable lens solutions for industrial applications.

Corning® Varioptic® Lenses rely on the electrowetting principle where the interface of two liquids is modified when a voltage is applied. This eliminates moving parts, bringing a unique competitive advantage to the market, and enabling fast focus.

Our technology is ideal for use in demanding industrial applications that require robust, accurate, fast, and long-lasting lenses.

Our C-S Series integrates a fixed lens module and an A-Series Variable Focus Lens in an M12 receptacle S-mount. It can be easily integrated into a standard M12 sensor board and driven by the same drivers as our A-Series lenses.

These are electronically focused controllable C-mount lenses based on our A-39N0 Variable Focus Lens. They incorporate all necessary electronic components to drive the liquid lens, and only require a DC power supply.

An oil drop lays on an insulative layer deposited on a metal electrode. The drop is placed in a conductive water phase. When a voltage is applied between the metal electrode and the water phase, the contact angle of the oil drop increases as well as the curvature of the drop.
